TITUS1:01

TITUS Trick Tipps | How to: FS Bigspin by TITUS is a skateboarding tutorial for the Frontside Big Spin. A tightly structured, bullet-point breakdown from TITUS that explains the key mechanical difference from a frontside 180 ollie: the back foot pushes the board through a full 360-degree shove-it rotation while the body only turns 180 degrees, and gives an exact catch target of 90 degrees of body turn against 270 degrees of board rotation.

A tightly structured, bullet-point breakdown from TITUS that explains the key mechanical difference from a frontside 180 ollie: the back foot pushes the board through a full 360-degree shove-it rotation while the body only turns 180 degrees, and gives an exact catch target of 90 degrees of body turn against 270 degrees of board rotation.

Key tips

  • Keep your shoulders, knees, and feet aligned as one parallel unit through the setup
  • Place your front foot just below the front bolts with your toes hanging slightly over the edge
  • Place your back foot on the inside edge of the tail with your heel hanging off, since it drives the full 360-degree board rotation
  • Start turning your shoulders and head 90 degrees into the frontside rotation the instant you begin to pop
  • Remember the body only turns 180 degrees total while the board spins a full 360, unlike a frontside 180 ollie where they match
  • Jump as high as you can to buy the board enough time in the air to complete its rotation
  • Aim to catch the board around 90 degrees of your own body turn and 270 degrees of the board's rotation
  • If you land before the rotation finishes, pivot on your back wheels to ride away straight instead of bailing
